Quan Dashan hurriedly finished a meal that he didn't know whether it was breakfast or dinner. These days, the life and training of soldiers have been completely turned upside down. I heard from the captain that there may be a night march and night battle training soon, and this night training
In the future, some outstanding soldiers will be selected from the soldiers and promoted to deputy captains. So these days, they rest during the day and train at night.
All the soldiers know that this is a good opportunity. As long as you become the deputy captain, you are eligible to be transferred to the guard's personal team. And as long as you train in the guard's personal team for one year, you will be released.
You can become the deputy captain of the Centurion. This is a military attache. For soldiers, it is a complete leap to the sky.
Therefore, Quan Dashan prepared to check the wheels of his team's two carts during the rest period to ensure that there would be no problems with the carts during the night march.
Quan Dashan's heart is not dark either. It is still too far away to become a personal soldier of Lord Guard, but as long as he becomes the deputy squad leader, he can get full military pay. In the past few days, Quan Dashan's mother has also given Quan Dashan
Talking about a marriage gave Quan Dashan a goal to strive for. And seeing his brother-in-law Yang Qi's face glowing red every day, Quan Dashan's heart was always itching.
Whoever comes to mind appears. Just when Quan Dashan was preparing the tools to check the wheels, his brother-in-law Yang Wu sneakily showed his head at the door.
As soon as Quan Dashan saw Yang Qi, he took the tools out of the house angrily and walked towards where the big car was parked. Yang Qi quickly followed behind, shouting: "Brother Dashan, wait for me
ah!"
Although Quan Dashan didn't look back, he still slowed down and let Yang Wu run to his side. Quan Dashan asked: "Why are you looking for me all day long if you don't stay well in your own team?"
"Brother Dashan, I really need your help this time."
"What can happen to you kid? Hurry up and tell me! I'm still busy with something."
"This... this... I just want to ask Brother Dashan to borrow some money."
Quan Dashan stopped as soon as he heard this and asked, "What's going on? Why do your family's money go so fast? If my little sister marries you, our family won't get any gift. But Lord Guard showed mercy and gave it to you again."
Twenty taels of silver. Where did you two spend your money?"
"I really didn't spend anything lavishly. It's just that my brother has just arranged a marriage and is preparing to do things. But the bride price is still a little short."
"But don't you still have those twenty taels? You can't spend them all?"
"Hey! Isn't my little sister pregnant?"
"Ah!?" Quan Dashan suddenly opened his mouth, and then he became happy. He then walked towards the cart and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite capable! Okay! I'll tell my mother when I get back, and I'll lend you the money first."
Please give me some money. But no more than two or three taels."
Yang Qi was also very happy when he saw that Quan Dashan agreed to borrow the money. He knew that Quan Dashan's family did not have much money, and these two or three taels of silver already accounted for most of the Quan Dashan family's property.
When they arrived at the cart, Quan Dashan took a tool to check the wheels, and Yang Qi started chatting with Quan Dashan: "Brother Dashan, things are not quite right these days. We are all working upside down day and night. And we trained at night before.
At most one or two centurions, and now except for those in the cavalry team, everyone has to participate in night training. Is something going on?"
Quan Dashan rolled his eyes at Yang Qi and said: "It's useless for you kid to think blindly. You kid also know what I know. I don't know anything more than you. But we are soldiers, what do the adults say?
Let’s do whatever we want. But you have to work hard this night training, you might have a good chance.”
"I know. Our team also said that if you perform well, you can be promoted to the deputy team. But in our gun team, I am not ranked high. But Brother Dashan is ranked high in your spear team."
"It goes without saying that I was selected to train with axes and guns." Quan Dashan showed off proudly, "You guys should work harder and stop dangling around every day."
Yang Qi opened his mouth to refute, but felt that there was nothing to say, so he closed his mouth. Quan Dashan sighed secretly in his heart. He knew that Yang Qi had been looking for him in his free time before.
The younger sister was playing, so some training was delayed. But now that the younger sister has a child, it’s time for Yang Qi to calm down and start a future.
At this time, the two of them suddenly heard the whistle of the gathering. So the two of them immediately ran towards the gathering place. After the formation was completed, Quan Dashan saw the commander-in-chief of his centurion team coming to the front of the formation.
The commander-in-chief looked around at the soldiers of his centurion team, and then said with great enthusiasm: "I just received the order from Deputy Zhou Qianhu, and our centurion team will serve as the vanguard and set off to Nanyang Mansion to suppress the bandits."
The sudden order shocked all the soldiers. Although the soldiers did not dare to shout loudly in the queue, the low shouts of so many people still caused a commotion. The commander-in-chief looked around the soldiers again, and all
The soldiers immediately shut their mouths, and the queue became quiet again.
"The destination of this bandit suppression is Nanyang Mansion. We have to march for five days and nights before capturing a village and defending it. But since it is a battle, all brothers must be prepared for casualties. But don't be afraid,
Most of our brothers have also had the experience of suppressing bandits. As long as we show our usual training level, this battle against bandits will not be too troublesome."
"Also, Lord Guard, please show mercy. As long as the brothers who have made meritorious service in the battle, they will be rewarded. The reward will at least increase the level of the brothers. So you must remember, how you usually train, how you should do it now. Don't
If you panic, you will die."
"In addition, after marching every day, each squad leader must settle his brothers and make sure that each brother washes his feet. Each squad leader must check the feet of the brothers in his squad while washing their feet.
Be sure to pick out those with soaked feet."
"Okay, now form your own team into a group and give you an hour to prepare. Find some brothers who can write to leave home letters, prepare armor and weapons and place them on your team's cart. Then everyone will be on your team's cart.
Gather next to the cart and set off according to the order at that time. Do you understand? If you understand, disband!"
At this time, Quan Dashan was still thinking carefully about the words of the commander-in-chief. He realized that if he achieved military merit in this battle, the reward he would receive would definitely allow him to pay for the betrothal gift. Because he just lent it to Yang Qi
The amount of money has already made the whole Dashan's betrothal gifts somewhat insufficient.
Quan Dashan looked at Yang Qi at the back of the queue, thought of the child in his sister's belly, and secretly made up his mind to protect his brother-in-law.
In order to keep this troop dispatch confidential, Wu Shigong decided to conduct all his army's marches at night. The fact that the army was able to maintain the speed of night marches was also thanks to Wu Shigong's long-term training of night emergency gatherings and night marches for his troops.
The five centuries of the vanguard set off first under the leadership of General Hefei. Among this team, there were also ten cavalry sent by the cavalry team to help with reconnaissance and leading the way. This army marched every day when the sun went down.
It will start later and end before the sun rises. And the whole day will be spent sleeping.
Wu Shigong's preparations were very thorough. The final destination after the first two night marches was the Zhuangzi built by Wu Shigong after he settled in the fields. In the Zhuangzi, hot water and food were prepared for the vanguard army.
The campsite for the next two days was also carefully selected in a relatively remote place, and there were already people there who had been arranged to deliver food and drinks to the army.
However, because they were camping during the day, the vanguard army still sent some soldiers around to prevent anyone from detecting the news. Once they saw someone discovering them, they would immediately detain all these people until the vanguard army set off again.
these people.
After four days of night march, the vanguard army had entered Nanyang Mansion, and was only about 40 miles away from Dahuai Village in the center of the mountainous area.
What follows is the last day of the night march. In this night march, the vanguard army will arrive at Dahuai Village in the early morning and occupy it, and then defend against possible counterattacks by the rebellious miners until the main patrol force arrives.
